Suppose that the demand for money function was MD = 4Y − 1000i where MD is the quantity of money demanded, i is the rate of intest (an interest of 5 means 5 percent in this problem), and Y is real national income, which currently is 1500. The supply of money is 1000, currency in circulation outside the banking system is 100, the target reserve ratio is 10 percent, there is no cash drain in the banking system, and the recessionary gap is 250. The price level does not change in this problem. What is the level of cash reserve of the banking system?
Money velocity in the country of Ecoland is always stable. In 2019 (the base year), the money supply was $250 billion. In 2020, the money supply increased to $350 billion, the price level increased by 25 percent, and nominal GDP equaled $1400 billion. By how much did real GDP increase between 2019 and 2020? A) $15 billion B) $ 50 billion C) $12.5 billion D) $150 billion
Suppose that Neha makes a new cash deposit of $120,000. If the assumptions of the multiplier-deposit expansion process hold, (with the required reserve ratio set at 20%), this deposit will _____ (increase or decrease) the money supply by _________. <fill in blank (Note: Currency held by the public is counted in the money supply as part of M1.)
The reserve requirement, open market operations, and the moneysupply Consider a system of banking in which the Federal Reserve uses required reserves to control the money supply (as was the case in the United States before 2008). Assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency, so the only money exists in the form of demand deposits. To further simplify, assume the banking system has total reserves of $300. Determine the money multiplier as well as the money supply for each reserve requirement listed in the following table. Reserve Requirement Simple Money Multiplier Money Supply (Percent) 5 (0.5, 1, 5, 10 or 20) (150, 300, 1500, 3000 or 6000) 10 (0.5, 1, 5, 10 or 20) (150, 300, 1500, 3000 or 6000) A higher reserve requirement is associated with a (LARGER or SMALLER) money supply. Suppose the Federal Reserve wants to increase the money supply by $200. Maintain the assumption that banks do not…
Assume economic growth is weak, reserves are abundant, and the inflation rate has been below the Fed's price stability goal for a significant period of time. Which of the following would best describe an appropriate policy action? a. Lower the target range for the federal funds rate and use open market operations to increase the level of reserves in the banking system. b. Raise the target range for the federal funds rate while simultaneously decreasing the interest on reserve balances rate, overnight reverse repo rate, and discount rate. c. Lower the target range for the federal funds rate and simultaneously decrease the interest on reserve balances rate, overnight reverse repo rate, and discount rate. d. Raise the target range for the federal funds rate and simultaneously increase the interest on reserve balances rate, overnight reverse repo rate, and discount rate.
28) If the required reserve ratio is 10% and the Federal Reserve purchases $50 million in treasury bonds on the open market, how could the money supply be impacted? a) Increase by a maximum amount of $500 million b) Increase by a maximum amount of $50 million c) Decrease by a maximum amount of $500 million d) Decrease by a maximum amount of $50 million 29) What is the most likely outcome of expansionary monetary policy? a) A decrease in the quantity of money, higher interest rates, and increased aggregate demand. b) An increase in the quantity of money, higher interest rates, and increased aggregate demand. c) A decrease in the quantity of money, lower interest rates, and decreased aggregate demand.. d) An increase in the quantity of money, lower interest rates, and increased aggregate demand.

Assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency, so the only form of money is demand deposits. To simplify the analysis, suppose the banking system has total reserves of $300. Determine the money multiplier and the money supply for each reserve requirement listed in the following table. A higher reserve requirement is associated with a __larger, smaller__money supply.Suppose the Federal Reserve wants to increase the money supply by $200. Again, you can assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency. If the reserve requirement is 10%, the Fed will use open-market operations to ____buy / sell_$___________worth of U.S. government bonds. Now, suppose that, rather than immediately lending out all excess reserves, banks begin holding some excess reserves due to uncertain economic conditions. Specifically, banks increase the percentage of deposits held as reserves from 10% to 25%. This increase in the reserve…

Which of the following is the most accurate description of events when monetary authorities increase the size of commercial banks' excess reserves? Select one: a. The money supply is decreased, which increases the interest rate, and causes investment spending, output, and employment to decrease b. The money supply is increased, which decreases the interest rate, and causes investment spending, output, and employment to increase c. A rise in interest rates increases the money supply, causing a decrease in investment spending, output, and employment d. A fall in interest rates decreases the money supply, causing an increase in investment spending, output, and employment
Suppose a central bank has a required reserve ratio of 6.6% for all banks and the central bank changes reserves at one of these banks by $536. By how much will the money supply change, at most, after all the effects of the money multiplier? (Round this to two digits after the decimal and enter this value as either a positive value or a negative value without the dollar sign.)
Suppose the Federal Reserve’s trading desk buys $500,000 in T-bills from a securities dealer who then deposits the Fed’s check in Best National Bank. Use a balance sheet to show the impact on the bank’s loans. Consider the money multiplier and assume the required reserve ratio is 10 percent. What is the maximum increase in the money supply that can result from this open market transaction?
